Chapter 69.


    <strong>Chapter 69. Executing Operation, Codename: Date, <b>Evening</b>. (1/4)</strong>


    <span style="font-weight:400">We arrived together at the bus stop and the three of us sat down on the bench together while we waited. I ended up sandwiched between the two. Despite my presence between them, it didn’t stop them from talking about a seemingly endless stream of topics. I couldn’t help but marvel at how long girls could talk. How did they have so much energy? Just talking for as long as I had when revealing Rosa’s scheme left me exhausted enough as it was.


    <span style="font-weight:400">There was also the fact that they’d yed DDR together for such a long period of time. How the hell did they still have so much energy? I couldn’t keep up at all. My feet were killing me, I was tired already, and I wanted to sleep. Yet this date was only halfway over. The world was just unjust. The world was no equal. When got gave out energy reserves, I was obviously toozy to stand in that line.


    <span style="font-weight:400">As such, I had nobody but myself to me.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Haaaah. In conclusion, dates are too damn tiresome. God, please give me a refund on all the energy I have spent today.


    <span style="font-weight:400">While I had my own internal conversation inside my head despite the two beauties on both my sides, the bus arrived. I was dragged to the back of the bus and we upied three of the five seats there. I ended up sandwiched between them again. Rosa took the center most seat, Alicia, the rightmost beside the window, while was between them.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Rosa leaned in against me pushing me closer to Alicia while the two of them continued their chat. They started talking about songs they enjoyed at some pointparing their tastes. They eventually moved onto juicy gossip about all the couples forming in school over the break. This naturally Included the ones that Alicia was ying Cupid for over the break.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Rosa was even suggesting pairing based on what she heard about each person’s interests and such. Why did girls enjoy being such busybodies so much? I couldn''t understand.


    <span style="font-weight:400">When the bus arrived at her apartment she dragged the two of us off forcefully without exining anything to Alicia. Alicia thought nothing of it and was under the impression the restaurant we were headed to was nearby and within walking distance.


    <span style="font-weight:400">However, Rosa immediately pulled her along into the apartmentplex which made Alicia raise the question, “Rosa, why are we going into this apartmentplex? Is the restaurant we’re headed to inside here?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“No. It’s just a normal apartment. There’s no restaurant here.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“What? But didn’t you say before we were going to a restaurant?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“We are, but I’ve got to pick something up and…” Rosa examined Alicia from top to bottom before she continued, “We should probably freshen up a bit and change. We worked up quite a sweat after all.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Huh? Oh… now that you mention it… I guess you’re right. But I don’t have a change of clothes.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Rx, I’ll loan you some of mine.” Rosa smiled more than willing to share her clothes with this friend of hers.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“I couldn’t possibly-”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“We’re friends, Alicia. Unless... I’m just one-sidedly thinking of you that way.” Rosa put on a sad look like she felt she’d been the only one that thought of them as friends.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Huh! What? Uh. No! I do. I do too! I think of you as one of my closest friends despite how short we’ve known each other for!” Flustered, in a panic that Rosa was really hurt she tried to correct her friend’s misunderstanding.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Honestly, Rosa was teasing her too much. Alicia might fall for such an act, but I definitely wouldn’t.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Then… we’re really friends and I’m not just misunderstanding?” She looked up at Alicia with uncertainty in her eyes.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Alicia hugged Rosa tight and said, “Of course we''re friends! I’ve never had as much fun out with a friend as I did with you today! ying DDR with you was the most fun thing I’ve done in a long time!”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Somehow… I felt like the third wheel here. I wanted to take a step away from the two because it was embarrassing as hell to be a part of this scene. Two girlfriends embracing each other tightly, talking about how much fun they had on a date together at an arcade.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Man, I was really out of my prime here. Sadly, my attempt to remove myself from this little scenario was in vain as Rosa’s hand hadshed out and firmlytched onto my arm.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Uh… I’ll just wait for the two of you down here.” I pointed at the bench near the entrance inside.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Don’t worry about it and juste up with us.” Her words indicated there was no room for me to escape.


    <span style="font-weight:400">When the elevator arrived, I was dragged along, forced against my will to remain within the bubbly atmosphere around the two. This was the sort of thing that left me feeling sick. I don’t cope well with these sorts of things. Such a sweet friendship between two girls. Please let me leave. I don’t fit in at all here. My skin is crawling. The gloomy expression that was always on my face made me stick out like a sore thumb. This is what pure suffering is, I’m sure. Torture, I was being tortured to death by two beauties.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Please give me a break.


    <span style="font-weight:400">While I internallymented over my current pitiful state, we stepped into Alicia’s unit.


    <span style="font-weight:400">I took a seat on the couch in the living room while Rosa dragged Alicia into the bathroom. It seemed she intended to shower together as she told Alicia, “We’re a bit short on time since the restaurant will close at 8 and we still have to catch another bus to get there on time, so we should just shower together.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Alicia understood but still looked a bit embarrassed to shower together with her out of the blue like this, especially when she knew a guy was waiting in the living room for them.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Despite the trepidation she felt toward the idea, she still allowed Rosa to pull her along into the bathroom anyway.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Seated on the couch alone I could hear their voices from inside the bathroom as the two undressed.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Your waist is so thin Alicia, it makes me want to hug it~”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Wait, Rosa, what are you-”


    <span style="font-weight:400">What the hell is that girl doing to you!


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Your chest too. It’s so perky. It fits so well in my hands. And this sticity. I just want to take a nap on it.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Ah~ wait~”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Oh? Are you that sensitive?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“A g-guy… your boyfriend, he’s outside, isn’t he? It’s embarrassing...”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Rx, there’s no way he can hear us.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">I can! Your liar! You absolute dirty liar! I can hear everything!


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Really? Is that so?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">The shower suddenly turned on and I couldn’t hear anything after that. Well, she was correct I couldn’t hear anything once they actually got into the shower. It was all muffled out by the sound of the flowing water.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Hya! Rosa~ there’s a bit-“


    <span style="font-weight:400">What? What’s a bit what! What the hell is with this situation? Why am I being subjected to such cruel, inhumane, and unusual punishment? Who did I anger to deserve this?


    <span style="font-weight:400">An image of Rosa embracing Alicia inside the shower appeared in my mind. Her hands sliding all across Alicia’s body. Slowly working their way lower until her fingers slip their way into a certain canal.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Their bodies entangle, their breath heats up. Alicia’s bashful appearance as Rosa uses her other free hand to tilt Alicia’s head to the right as Rosa moves in to steal her lips.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Alicia feels like it’s something bad, but there’s a sort of immoral appeal to it. She feels herself gradually being corrupted but doesn’t dislike it.


    <span style="font-weight:400">The more I thought the more embarrassing the scene in my head became. I stood up, approached a wall, and lightly banged my forehead against it.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Stray wandering thoughts, begone. There’s no way in hell that’s what is actually going on inside there! Damn it! But I still want to see! The curiosity was killing me.


    <span style="font-weight:400">No, it’s fine. Calm down me. That’s not what’s really happening inside there. Reality is boring after all. Stuff like that only happens in stories, definitely not in the real world. When I remembered this was the real world and not some fictional story filled with the hopes and dreams of men across the globe, my heart finally calmed down.


    <span style="font-weight:400">It returned to a state as still as a tranquilke. I returned to the couch and sat down. I patiently waited for the duo to finish up.
